How time flies...and how God has blessed me...
I cant really help but wonder...
Its almost a year now...
It was the last thing I ever assumed, imagined could happen to me...yet it did.
I never did anything wrong...on the contrary, I was efficient.
I was never overly late
I was appraised fairly
I had it all going well
and suddenly...
from the blues...
I got the Letter...
What was I supposed to do? Think, Talk, Shout, Scream, weep, protest?
I was confused.
And I was sad.
Very Sad that after putting in my very best, it would end that way.
Not a note of warning, nothing to alert me that it was coming.
It simply knocked me off....a mere letter

Sweet
It gave me opportunities...
I did what I always dreamed of doing, but was to shy to find out how.
I learned things that would help me tomorrow and put food on my table should the need arise...things that would just guide my decision...
I got another opportunity...
I got a better chance.
To Start again...on the right foot...
To learn to think about my future everyday...
To learn to live everyday...
To meet new people
To see things from a different perspective...
To be compassionate...
To rise...
To believe...
To trust...

I have learned...
When things happen to you, you would never know the "why" at that point...
All you are armed with is the knowledge that it is happening to you at that point.
What you don't know is that a picture is being formed... a portrait, a puzzle, a mosaic...
All you can see as well as others is "this is what I am going through now" picture
Every point in ones life is a "this-is-what-is-happening-now" time
Finally, we get to see the whole picture and look back and say "oh" i never knew...
then we look back at the BiTtErSwEeT memories and SMILE!
